| Description of the problem | 2013 jeep wrangler had 72,000 highway miles, never towed or beat on jeep. While driving at 70mph on highway car suddenly swerved violently to right and left multiple times, almost flipped over. Had it towed to belle tire and found right rear axel went out, affected calipers and brakes all had to be replaced. I was less than 2 months out of powertrain, called they wont reimburse since it was not repaired at jeep dealer. The car abs/tracktion control lights went on, hardly went forward due to brakes locked up and smelled like it was burning, actual right rear rim too hot to touch, wouldn't even move in gear unless gassed it. Never had a warning, rear brakes had just been replaced two months earlier. |
